have you throught about some of the rainbowboas?

you still need to feed them normal they just grow at a much slower pace. now i do not mean power feed them but feed them once every 7-10 days and when they get adult size you might want to feed them once every two weeks (appropriate size meals of course) but it really will de pend on the animal... some you can feed them once a month and they do great others need that 7-10 day period but it usually lies somewhere inbetween for an adult

I used to have a baby solomon island boa and it was great. It ate a pinky the first day I got it. I think they are a good buy once they are established feeders.

you should get a Nicaraguan boa it does not get over 5 ft. and i found some for 50$ at a local pet store. I have 3 and they are great boas and are small

7 ft is pretty large for a Hogg....they normally tap out at 4-6 ft. I think some people get larger ones in captivity because they are fed so frequently...unlike in the wild..where they would not normally eat as much or as frequently.
